To the people of Ireland, there is no symbol that represents love in a more meaningful way than the Claddagh. Worn as a romantic ring or friendship ring, it meant, "In Love and Friendship, Let Us Reign." The three branches of the rings include the heart, crown, and hands. The heart symbolizes love, the hands friendship, and the crown loyalty. The O'Conell's strive to pay tribute to these attributes when we celebrate a life lived.
